SELinux update broke OpenOffice.org

[Adam Gibson]

It seems that after an upgrade FC4 does not relabel your home 
directory(I kept mine as is during the upgrade).  Firefox would not work 
with my plugins that were installed in my user directory.  2 ways to fix 
this.

Make sure all files are relabeled by relabeling your entire file system:
su as root and then...

touch /.autorelabel

When you reboot all filesystems will be relabeled including /home which 
will relabel your shared libraries in your home directory as a library 
so that selinux will allow it to load.


Relabel just the home directory:
/sbin/restorecon -vR /home
